First Days of School

WHEW!!!!! The first days of school are here and gone and our first weekend has started. I have started my sixth year of teaching and my new class of freshman could be the best yet. We have spent the first days going over rules (boring!!) as well as taking some time to debate statements revolving around science. The students have been great drawing on past knowledge to argue their point when faced with a statement such as, "Humans may have caused the extinction of dinosaurs. True or False." or "Your loved ones' cremated remains can be turned into diamonds. True or False." This year's students debated each point long and hard as they attempted to prove their stance correct while disproving the other side. Hmmmmm, almost like real science......SWEEEEEEET!

Next week the work increases but if these two days are a sign of things to come we will have a great year!
